STRANGLES TARGETED

They officially launched the Strangles Appeal polo shirt initiative, as part of a wider campaign run by The British Horse Society, the Animal Health Trust, Puffa and Horse & Hound.

Puffa is donating 2 to the appeal from every shirt that is sold.

The money will fund research by the Animal Health Trust to develop blood tests capable of identifying long-term carriers of strangles, enabling vets to reduce the spread of the respiratory infection.

To give to this worthy cause, send cheques, payable to the Animal Health Trust, to Strangles Appeal, The British Horse Society, Stoneleigh Deer Park, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, CV8 2XZ.
